1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1928 Try To Oust Negro Residents VOLUME 41 Try Race Restriction Property Case Brought To Trial In L. A. Testing the validity of restrictions against Negro ownership and occupancy of property, a case against Wilbur Peterson (colored) and wife, was tried this week in the Los Angeles Superior Court. Atty. Afue McDowell represented the Petersons, the Colored occupants. RESTRICTIONS The restricted area is the Entwistle Tract. In 1955 the owner (white) acting on the advise of Letteau, included in the deeds to some of the lots, the following restrictions: "That the said lot shall never at any time be sold, rented to or occupied by any persons of Negro dessert, and that a violation of any of said conditions shall work a forfeiture or title thereto to the said party of the first part, or their successors or assigns." The Entwistle Trace is bounded by E. 40th St., E. Vernon Ave., McKinley Ave., and Avalon Blvd. BLACK BELT The defense included testimony of colored pioneers who knew the district forty years ago when it was a ranch far from Los Angeles. When this tract was subdivided no colored families lived near there. Since then, the black belt has spread from 9th and Central Ave., and engulfed the Entwistle Tract so that, according to some of the whites, the property is no longer suited for occupancy by whites and is best suited for occupancy by colored people, wherefore the whites refuse to purchase or to rent in the tract or district. The State Supreme Court has often held that the restriction cannot be enforced when there can no longer be realized the purpose which the original owner had in establishing the restriction. The defendants claimed in this case that when the restrictions were first established the locality was inhabited exclusively by whites and that then the restrictions could be enforced; but since then, the situation is reversed and the locality is inhabited almost exclusively by colored people so that to enforce the restrictions now would be oppressive and inequitable, rendering the property almost valueless, as white people refuse to buy or rent there, wherefore many of the houses have stood unenanted months at a time. What appeared to be a sinister political appeal to the judge, was the effort of the party who was suing to try to get in testimony of a deputy register of voters concerning the number of white voters whom she registered in the tract; but the defendants objected to this and promptly inquired as to whether the plaintiffs were seeking to make a political campaign out of the trial, and stated that so far as the number of voters were concerned, the surrounding Negro population included far more voters than the handful of white people in the tract. The former owner of the Entwistle Tract was a widow who Letteau's influence, subdivided and sold the land, and later married Letteau. She died leaving a will which did not proxide for Letteau and which disposed of most of her estate. Some of the estate was not disposed of by the will, wherefore he inherited from her valuable real estate, and sued her son, the administrator and obtained more of the estate. Letteau has sued to recover about ten lots in the tract because of occupancy by colored people. One of the suits was not contested, and to make sure of his acquiring the lot, Letteau foreclosed a trust deed. Another suit, which was defended by the N. A. A. C. P., was won by Letteau, and the colored family ousted. The case which was tried this week was the third case brought to trial. The other cases will be tried later. Atty. McDowell, in the Peterson case, used defense and methods which were not used in the other cases, and from the evidence and legal arguments in court, the Petersons have the advantage so far. The opposing attorneys were ordered to file briefs and in the meantime the case is under advisement by Judge Hanby. STATE DEPUTY OF CALIFORNIA DAUGHTERS OF ELKS, I. B. P. O. E. OF W.

HATCHER Chicago, March 3.—Gae thousand of Chicago's musical elite took advantage of last Sunday's ideal weather and filled the Goodman Memorial theatre to bear Madame Florence Cole-Talbert in her home-coming recital on her "first American tour" following her European debut in grand opera. She was presented by the Zeta Zeta chapter of the Zeta Phi Beta sorority. The program was announced to begin at 3:15 p. m. sharp, and although the advance ticket sale indicated a capacity attendance, the house was less than half filled at the fixed hour which was probably due to the fact that a large percentage of Chicago recital-goers are connected with the various church choirs and for that reason many of them were detained at their respective morning services. When Mine, Talbert finally came on the stage to render her first group of songs, she was followed closely by Goldie Buy-Martin, who was her chosen accompanist. The audience—that portion who were on time—had adjusted themselves to the general surroundings of the little exclusive theatre, and were waiting patiently. MME. TALBERT The artist had returned home to sing for friends, acquaintances and admirers among whom she had lived and her appearance was the signal for prolonged applause. Her program reached its highest point of appreciation when she sang "Ritornal Vincitor," the Aria from Verdi's "Aida." It was this one selection that her audience had looked forward to, because it was in "Aida" that she made her operatic debut in Italy. Advance press comments, moreover, from Eastern papers, had praised especially this rendition. Nor did she lose any of her laurels for her appreciative audience demanded an encore and she was presented with two beautiful bouquets at the conclusion of this masterpiece. "Love Went A-Riding," by. Frank Bridge, was done so splendidly that a repittion was demanded and the madam seemed to rejoice in giving it. The Zeta Zeta chapter of the sorority who presented Madam Talbert is composed of ten young women, all of whom are prominent in public life: Cleo Dickerson-Holloway, president; Lowell V. Derrick, Vice-President; Goldie Gay Martin, Secretary; Mar that B. Mitchell, Treasurer; Nannie May Stranyhorn, Marshall and Blanch Jackson-Thompson, Editor, are all well known musicians of Chicago.

LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 1928 George S. Schuyler, the most taked of journalist of Harlem, will be in Los Angeles next week and will speak at the A. M. E. Zion Church, Friday, March 16th on the subject: "Psycho-analyzing the Aframerican." Mr. Schuyler is managing editor of "The Messenger"; edits the weekly column "Views and Reviews" in the Pittsburgh Courier and has contributed to the American Mercury, the Nation, the New Masses and other periodicals. In a recent letter to Miss Emma LaSayers, who is acting as his representative Mr. Schuyler had this to say of himself: I was born in Providence, R. L., on Feb. 25, 1895 and raised and schooled in Syracuse. Left the latter town in 1912 and joined the U. S. Army, staying with them until December 1918, with intervals in which I visited the Philippines, Japan and China. In 1919-1920 I was Civil Clerk in the U. S. Quartermaster Corps. From that time to March, 1923, I was successively porter, dishwasher, stevedeer, janitor, hobo and laborer. Since 1924 I have conducted a column "Views and Reviews" in the Pittsburgh Courier. From November, 1925 until July, 1926, I toured eleven Southern States, visiting 200 cities representing the Courier and writing about the condition and status of the Negro in the various communities mentioned. Since August, 1926, I have been editorial writer for the Pittsburgh Courier in addition to writing "Views and Reviews." Since December, 1926 I have been Managing Editor of The Messenger. Have contributed articles during the past four years to The World Tomorrow, The New Masses, The Nation and The American Mercury. This will be Mr. Schuyler's first and only public appearance in Los Angeles. For further information see Miss Sayers, 41221 Central or phone HUmbolt 7712. Man Can't Secure Warrant for Arrest of His Assaulters Smiley King, who resides and works in Santa Monica is very pessimistic as to the protection and assistance a man is afforded in the city of Los Angeles against those who would assault and batter an individual without provocation. According to King's story he was fortunate to escape with his life a few weeks back when, while at a party on McKinley St., near Austin, he left to see who continued to blow the horn on his car outside. He says he found his estranged wife seated therein and after ter talking to her a while a big car swung around from the corner. She went toward this machine and gave a scream. Thinking something had happened to her he hurried over to the car and was set upon by a young man known to him with a pump and hammer. His friends were unable to give him assistance as his wife took them at bay with a knife. After the skirmish he had to his credit a broken arm, a broken jaw, and minor lacerations. King continuing says that Detectives Broady and Kimbrough were put in charge of the case. He says Kimbrough visited him in the hospital and received the name and address of the man who attacked him, and also the names and addresses of his witnesses, but upon being able to leave the hospital he discovered that his wife, who had been arrested at the time of the fracas, was released without bond or trial, his witnesses had not been interviewed and that when he made an effort (three or four times) to secure a warrant for the man and his wife, for some reason or other he was "stalled," the buck was passed, and he was unable to secure the warrant. He says further that various and sunny reasons were given by the officer in charge of the case for the release of his wife (which didn't tally with register at Newton Street) and the failure for issuing a warrant for the couple's arrest. Mr. King was not to be daunted and says that he reported the matter to the Golden West Lodge, I. B. P. O. E. "IT MAS BEEN DONE!" (By: J. B. Bass) The announcement in this paper, The California Eagle, in its issue of Friday, January 27th: "The Eagle wants a runner in L. A. to N. Y. foot race," there responded to this time quite a few. Mr. Watson Burns, well-known Sportsman, dropped in the office of the Sporting Editor of this paper just as we were in a dilemma as to procuring a runner and told our Mr. Levette that he would back any runner whom we would choose. Just about this time Eddie Gardner, from Seattle, showed up and was acceptable to all and Mr. Burns kept his word and at an expense of nibble unto $1000 is back of this young man who is making history in this mighty marathon for the race. Take due notice, however, in the midst of it all, the white press with one or two exceptions fail to give him the credit due. More noticeable perhaps are the reports furnished by the Examiner. It is said if Gardner wins this race the Examiner will start a campaign to do away with marathons as in the case when boxing had the Examiner's C. K. until Godfrey out-boxed Poalino. However, "It has been done." You cannot take it away from us. The "Soaring Eagle" found the man. Watson Burns is putting him over. Chicago Business Woman Visits City Mrs. E. G. Fulton of Chicago, Ill., manufacturer of Fulto Hair Preparation, is in the city, having motored here by the way of the Santa Fe trail, stopping in Kansas City, Kans., Dodge City, Albuquerque, Flagstaff, Needles. She has made several agents and has been highly entertained by many friends and agents. Mrs. Fulton will go to Frisco and Oakland where she will continue to demonstrate. Anyone wishing to register, may call at 989 E. 40th St. Included in the party with Mrs. Fulton was Mr. and Mrs. Julius Day of Chicago. RALPH BUNCH MAKING GOOD Cambridge, Mass. March 1, 1928. DEAR MRS. PATTON: It is a pleasure to write you concerning Ralph's progress at Harvard, indeed, it is as we predicted more than progress for he has attained what seems to me to border on real achievement. His record at the mid-year examinations was highly superior. Still more important, numerous of my colleagues have spoken of him in the highest terms, and he is regarded as one of our outstanding men. I assure you that such a position is not easily obtainable, and that to win distinction under the conditions that Ralph has encountered is in itself a mark of high superiority. I am urging a substantial scholarship for him next year, and conditions seem highly favorable. With kind personal regards and best wishes, I remain. Sincerely, JOHN F. SLY, Lecturer on Government. of W., of which he is a member, and has succeeded in getting them to appoint a committee to investigate the affair. He further states that should the committee's report not be favorable that his employer at Santa Monica promises to take the matter up with the Police Commission or the City Council to see why, after a man has been attacked in the vicious manner in which he was, and knowing his attackers, (whose names and addresses or locations he gave to the officers) cannot obtain a warrant for their prosecution from Newton Street Station, where, he was told at headquarters, he would have to obtain same. Mr. King states his grievance in no uncertain terms, and vows that he will not let up until he gets some vindication for the unnecessary suffering he has been through in the past five weeks, to say nothing of the loss sustained by being unable to work. shown by using limits to treat Down Go the Charges Diamonds Make Smile Of Heresy Of Singer Resplendent Down Go the Charges Diamonds Make Smile Of Heresy Of Singer Resplendent The Baptist Ministers' Union called the Council and they were proceeding to take active part in the deliberations of said Council, but were confused and confounded when Dr. Gordon, the accused, secured the floor and made a point of order on the proceedings, stating that according to "Baptist Polity" and law, "The parties calling the Council, could take no part in said Council except to give testimony to the Council, i.e., this law shut out all of the men of the Union who were anxious to try Dr. Gordon. There was a sickly, stupid effort to offset this point of order, by stating that the "Star Book," out of which Dr. Gordon read this law, was only a little book that ministers carry with them to carry out pastoral duties. But, said they, we will read from a larger book—"The Baptist Church DiRECTORY," and in doing so they read a law which said: "When a pastor is accused, he can only be tried by his Church." And all the law Dr. Gordon had read in the "Little Book" they found in the "Larger Book." This point was plain and well taken, even by the laity. After charging Dr. Gordon in the public, the public was there to hear the proceedings, but after much demonstration in Dr. Gordon's favor, by the public, a minister got the floor, and contended that the public should be excluded. This was about to cause serious trouble not Dr. Gordon kindly asked his outside friends to retire from the church, which they uninterfacing did. Of course all this rumpus does not mean that all of the Baptist ministers are involved in this headless effort to block Rev. J. D. Gordon. Asking for a statement in full in dealing with this case concerning one of the foremost divines, we glean as a consensus of opinion the following facts: It consists of five or six new-comers who are in the lead. They did not know Dr. J. D. Gordon. They did not know his power to defend himself or the causes which he defends. The rank and file of the Baptists are high class and broad-minded. The mistakes of these few onrushing brethren who would down Rev. J. D. Gordon, were pointed out thus: 1. Calling to trial a minister not member of the Union. 2. Not taking up the matter with his church and getting the church to act. 3. Hearing charges against Dr. Gordon and refusing him the privilege to reply. 4. Not asking for a mutual council. 5. The chairman refused Dr. Gordon a hearing until Dr. Gordon threatened the chairman by saying, "You know I have a way to compell you to hear me." The chairman had no law for blocking the Dr. but his feeling. 6. Calling a council of churches which had no Baptist nature being neither a mutual nor an expartee council. 7. Citing Rev. J. D. Gordon to appear before such a council. 8. The Tabernacle Church received no notice at all, but the Pastor received his notice. 9. The notice did not give the names of the churches asked to said council. 10. After Dr. Gordon corrected them then they voted to change the council to a conference—and change the charges to allegations. 11. They—over Dr. Gordon's protest—extended the hearing four days later, which destroyed its nature as a mutual council. Both sides did not agree. 12. The Moderator ruled out all expressions from other bodies of Baptists. Thus, two associations were hindered in expressing themselves. 13. Then after the four days, at the absence of Dr. Gordon, they extended a mutual conference several days later, without Dr. Gordon's consent. How could it be a Mutual Council? "Have you ever seen," it has been remarked, "so many blunders made in dealing with a distinguished minister of the gospel? It was the leadership who were at fault and the evil purposes of heart. God withdrew from them what they did not know." CHICAGO THEATRE PRO DUCER TAKES OVER CHRISTIAN TAVERN The Wharton Sisters, formerly head of the "Bronx Review" have open up the Christian Tavern under the name of the "Green Parrot Cafe." The Wharton girls are nationally known from coast to coast. Monday, March 5th, they had a red hot dance, free to the public. ARTISTRY OF DR. WATKINS The gleaming, flashing, scintillating smil eof Sarah Martin is produced by more than $2000.00 worth of diamonds, artistically set in her pretty teeth and all this is the work of Dr. William W. Watkins, of 2423 S. CentraI Avenue. This skilled and well-experienced dentist has added charm to the brilliant smile of that wonderful kinger, who has for the past few months entertained Los Angeles audiences. Dr. Watkins came to this city two years ago from Washington, D.C., where he had practiced for several years. Prior t othat he was a successful practitioner at Montgomery, Ala. He has seen service in the surgical and dental department of Freedman's Hospital. He has posted in many of the best institutions of the U. S. A. and was for a long time associated with the man who stands at the head of the list in dentistry. Dr. Bentley of Chicago. The people of the city of Los Angeles will now be in a position to employ his skill in correcting defects of teeth, stopping decay and removing diseased teeth, as well as preserving the gums, which is an element in the promotion of good health. The offices of Dr. Watkins, upstairs on the corner of 25th and Central Avenue, are well arranged and as completely equipped as any dentist's parlor in the city. A visit to this number will convince the most skeptical, and the ladies and children should not hesitate to enter Dr. Watkins' offices and consult him as to work in his life. Our men must know that it is our duty to give ourselves the best there is for the money which we pay, and a trial at Dr. Watkins' will prove that you can save money and obtain the best of services in his offices, as you can any place, anywhere in the city. THE NEGRO AND THE NEXT PRESIDENT From the present appearance of things, Secretary Hoover has the best chance of securing the nomination on the Republican ticket and the Republican candidate has by far the better chance of election. Mr. Hoover comes up from the common as did Garfield, Cleveland, Harding, Coolidge. It was only the other day that President Coolidge informed a delegation that he could shake hands with the multitude without exhaustion because he had acquired manipular dexterity by his experience in milking cows. While on the Pacific Coast last summer, I spent some time in Berkeley where the secretary attended the University of California. It is of tradition that he served as laundry agent and waited on tables to earn his way through school. This basic experience ought to give him a broad sympathy with those who are struggling to better their position in the world. Mr. Hoover's career, his character, his executive talent and his great accomplishments on two hemispheres certainly furnish a source of inspiration to all peoples who begin at the bottom and struggle upwards toward the top. And yet we cannot always be too sure. If we scan the list of our chief executives, we find them fairly well distributed between the aristocrats and the common people. Washington, Adams, father and son, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe represented the Brahmin caste or their day and generation. Andrew Jackson broke the series of the nobility. He came from the common people with the language, habits, practices of his origin. We have since witnessed the rail-splitter, the tailor and the mule driver in the presidential chair. But it is not always a safe gauge to tell a public man's sympathies by his origin and early environment. It is entirely doubtful whether Harding and Coolidge were in closer sympathy with the common lot of the common man than Taft or Roosevelt. Woodrow Wilson perhaps showed understanding sympathy for the under dog beyond any president except Lincoln, although the school-master president was of noble cultural descent. Mr. Hoover's experience has not been such as to bring out his disposition in this behalf. And yet there is nothing in his career that would lead us to conclude that the cause of the underman would not appease powerful- (Continued on page 6) On account of a sick toe which caused us to be unable to move around in our Sunday shoes, we were unable to visit one of the churches according to our program last Sunday. THE two American Black men who will appear in the next issue of the encyclopedia Britannica, will be Dr. W. E. Burghardt DuBols on Negro literature and James Welton Johnson on Negro Music. AT least a part of the world just now is interested in maintaining peace. We are interested in world-wide peace, but not at any price. We realize that Negroes have fought in all wars affecting the interest of this, their country—always for peace—especially in the last war they fought for democracy, which stands for peace and happiness for all alike, but at the close of the world war, they came back to be subjected to the same or even worse treatment. ```markdown ``` FOR three days in rapid succession, immediately following the Godfrey-Uzcdun fight, the Los Angeles Examiner bombarded the reading public with bitter burning editorials telling how beautiful California had been disgraced by a prize fight between a Negro and a white man. If the Examiner is in favor of eliminating prize fights from the calendar of California Sports, then we are with it, but we certainly feel that the fight it is making with regards to a Negro fighting a white man is unAmerican to say the least, and such propoganda produces race hatred. We would suggest that the Examiner turn its big guns on the Hickman and Hunt types of citizens in this community and make Los Angeles and California a safer place for the girls and women of this generation. ```markdown ``` MRS. George Herbert Clark, member of the Board of Education, gracefully presided over a business lunch on the Chamber of Commerce Bldg. last Friday noon. Those present were: Mr. Titus Alexander, Rev. C. Rankin Barnes, Hon. Reynold E. Blight, Mrs. Louis M. Blodgett, Dr. Albert Baumann, Mrs. George Herbert-Clark, Mr. C. A. Dykstra, Mr. Frank A. Harvey, Mrs. A. Hill, Dr. H. C. Hudson, Hon. E.

P., which is to meet in this city next June, was formed and Mr. C. A. Dykstra was elected chairman, Mrs. Clark was elected vice chairman, Councilman Virgil Martin, Joseph Scott, Frank L. Shaw, E. Snapper Ingram, and Dr. Albert Baumann were appointed committee on place for the meeting of the Association. Dean Pickens was the only spenker, and for about twenty-five minutes, he held the lunch guests spell bound in his excellent portrayal of the activities of the N. A. A. C. P. Dean Pickens is, without a reasonable doubt, the dynamo of the National Association and is doing, not only a good job for that organization, but likewise for humanity, Black and White. For the Black people in that, as he says, the Association is trying to help them find their place in the march of advancing civilization and in so doing, Dean Pickens said that the Negro was not wishing to make inroads on individuals or races, but find his plac as an American Citizen. --- A serious situation with regards to Negro labor is upon us. Never before have we had so many Negro men out of work. Daily we are confronted with the problem of trying to find employment for some male member of the race. Just what is the trouble we are unable to determine, but we do believe that a much greater effort should be made towards organizing our laboring class. There is some little educating that we may do for ourselves along this line. Changes in Los Angeles train schedules, were effective today, coincidental with the new 61¼ hour schedule to Chicago. Practically all the schedules of the more important Southern Pacific trains out of Los Angeles will be "tightened up" shortening the time from Los Angeles to the East. The Golden State Limited, the fast Chicago train will leave at 6 P. M., an hour later than now and reach Chicago at 9:15 the third day instead of 10 o'clock as now. Similar schedules to Chicago will be maintained by the Union Pacific and Santa Fe. The East bound Sunset Limited of the Southern Pacific will arrive at New Orleans 55 minutes earlier. The Argonaut east bound will gain half an hour to New Orleans. The Union Pacific and Santa Fe will maintain its present schedules on their other trains. AIRPLANE SERVICE FROM ANGELES TO SEATTLE An "Aerial Leviathan" seating 22 passengers, with a dining compartment and chef, will inaugurate a new limited service between Los Angeles and Seattle on July 1, construction is to begin at once in Santa Monica of the new plane, besides passengers it will have space for freight and baggage. TRAINS IN SNOW TRAP Two passenger trains, trapped in snow drifts for more than eighteen hours during a blizzard that swept the eastern section of the upper Michigan peninsula were released tonight, one of the trains a South Shore Line local, carrying about thirty passengers, which stalled at Strongs Michigan proceeded on to its destination, the other, a Soo Line train, enroute from Minneapolis to Saint Ste Marie was forced to return over the route. BROTHERHOOD TO HAVE ZONE HEADS According to a statement from A. Philip Randolph, General Organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, the membership which is rapidly extending from Florida to the Coast, embracing the entire country, is in process of being zoned so as to establish more immediate contact with the members. Each zone will have a supervising director who will be able to secure instant action in event of emergencies. Randolph reports that membership retains high spirit and that Organization membership steadily increases. A strong citizens committee according to the General Organizer has been built up in Boston, which makes a powerful chain or citizens units throughout the country working for the benefit of the porters union. The chain consists of New York, Moston, Washington, Kansas City, Mo., Chicago, Omaha and St. Louis. VETERAN PORTER SUCCUMBS AF TER PROLONGED, ILLNESS According to Geo. S. Grant, Organizer of the Los Angeles District of Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, the deceased Brother Sims, who died Saturday evening, the 3rd, was at one time a loyal member of the Brotherhood. For some reason, however, Sims decided to swing over to the company and instead of supporting the Union, his efforts went the other way. Perhaps worry and regret over the fact that he had deserted his fellow workers in their struggle for better wages and working conditions might have lessened the resistance which Brother Sims needed to oppose the disease which took him away. It will perhaps be interesting to the company to know that T. A. Sims held a Brotherhood card even though he later decided, for his own interests, to oppose the organization. Mr. Sims was 58 years of age and was buried on February 7th at 1 P. M. fro mthe 2nd Baptist Church, Rev. T. L. Griffith, officiating. Angelus Funeral Home was in charge of funeral arrangements. COURTESY THE KEYNOTE OF SUCCESS The soul of service is courtesy, without which the attention given to patrons would be perfunctory and unsympathetic, the value of courtesy should be constantly impressed upon employees not only as an asset of business but as a personal quality that is so necessary in our contact with our fellow men.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE FREE FROM FINANCIAL WORRY? ---DOES AN INCOME FOR LIFE INTEREST YOU?---DO YOU WANT AN INCOME FOR YOUR CHILDREN?---YES, OF COURSE YOU DO!--THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE WORKED AND SAVED. NOW COMES YOUR OPPORTUNITY! ... For $775.00 in Money, on Terms of $95.00 Down, and $12.50 a Month... IN THE whole history of safe investment, NO opportunity like this has ever before been offered the public! Here is a $1750 investment. Pay 44%, at the rate of $95 down and $12.50 a month, or a total of $775 plus 5% on monthly balances. We'll take a trust deed for the balance, and split your net income 50-50 until it's paid off. After that, it's all yours, income, property and everything! If you become permanently disabled, or meet with death, at any time during your monthly cash payments, we'll forget the difference, wipe it off the books, hand it to your estate, and colect only the 56% balance, on the same 50-50 basis as we'd do it for you. That means that when the income produced from this investment has paid us the balance due, of $975, that it has also PAID YOU $975, for we are splitting 50-50. You will then have received back, in cash, the entire $775 you have paid in, with a small additional profit. From then on we will manage this investment for you so that it should yield you a return of approximately $600 a year—or better—or 80% yearly on your investment! WE BACK YOUR FUNDS WITH OUR OWN! That is the Pacific Development Company's offer—clean, concise, open and above board, backed by our entire resources, and made to get additional funds to develop perfectly situated grapefruit lands in the Salt River Valley, Arizona, where grapefruit show a 16% higher sugar content than elsewhere and from which, within a few years, this organization should be netting, for itself and its investors, millions of dollars yearly. What we offer is this: An acre of land—good soil, plenty of water, planted to 80 three-year-old Marsh Seedless Pedigreed Grapefruit Trees, in a location free from frost and pests, at $1750. You pay $95 down, $12.50 a month until you've paid $775, or 44% of the acre-cost plus 5% interest on monthly balances. The balance of 56% is carried by us as a first lien, and as we harvest and market the fruit we take half of your net returns until the balance is paid up. Meanwhile, you've gotten back as much as we have—$975. That's 100% on your cash investment, plus. EXPERT CARE FOR 25 YEARS! We agree to take care of that acre for 25 years if you so desire, cultivating, irrigating, harvesting, marketing and advertising the crop for you for only 25% of the net returns, after the acre's paid for on the terms outlined above. You don't have to live on it; you don't have to be a grapefruit expert; you don't have to worry about overhead; you don't have to work the land. We do that ourselves, for the simple reason that we can do it more efficiently, operating as a single great unit, at one overhead cost, than any group of growers can do it. Experts in grapefruit culture wil handle that part of the job. Where you come in is as a participant, with your frunts, combining them with ours. GRAPEFRUIT GROWING NOT A PIKER JOB In the January, 1925, issue of the New Reclamation Era, which is issued monthly by the Bureau of Reclamation, Department of the Interior, Washington, C., Mr. George C. Kreutzer, Director of Farm Economics of the Bureau of Reclamation for the United States Government, has the following to say regarding the development of Grapefruit groves in Arizona: "There is nothing cheap about developing one of these orchards.

Booker Makes Hit The Los Angeles Forum on last Sunday was fortunate indeed to have the pleasure of Dr. A. J.

His address went over with a bang and every body felt helped by hearing it. The doctor gave a deep insight from the viewpoint of a medical man and with penetrating humor clinched every point and put all doubting Thomases to flight. The Forum Sunday will be open, and this is regarded as field day when every person may state their case. The new stationery was delivered on last Sunday and the secretaries will now get busy. President Duncan and his cabinet can well feel that their efforts for a continued interest in the body is worth while, for the Los Angeles Forum is indeed rendering a most wonderful service by bringing both men and measures to gether. JUNIOR SOCIETY ACTIVITIES By LAWRENCE LaMAR ELOQUENT ADDRESS BY NEWEI EASON STIRS YOUNG PEOP- LE'S FELLOWSHIP Sunday afternoon, March 4th, the Young People's Fellowship in regular open forum, was treated to one of the most enthusiastic subjects of its career. Not since about two months ago, when Mr. Edgar Johnson thrilled a large audience with a brilliant flow of oratory, has there been such a responsive reaction to a speech. Mr. Eason's subject was "Presidential Possibilities" and his delivery was remarkable. Subsequent speakers on the subject quickly responded to the floor and immediately put in nomination their respective candidates. The republicans present favored Hoover. The rest seemed strongly in favor of the popular Al Smith. A full house greeted and applauded the speaker. The officers in charge of the meeting were: Miss Miriam Matthews, President; Miss Zella M. Taylor, Secretary; and Miss Dorothy V. Johnson, Treasurer. Many new members were received into the fellowship.

The club was honored with the presence of the President and the first Vice President, and one of the Trustees of the Los Angeles Bar Association. The heart to heart talks by all present were very instructive as well as entertaining, and caused every one present to see, understand and think of the other fellow, as well as prevailing conditions as they had not seen and understood them before. Your reporter concluded from what he could understand of all that was said by those present, that it is not a prejudice that exists between the races, but it is a misunderstanding, and that more contacts and interchange of thoughts will have a tendency to greatly ameliorate conditions, if not solidify all factions. Everyone thought himself very fortunate to be present, and the officers of the Los Angeles Bar Association assured us that they as well as others of their group would be glad to meet the Blackstone Club at any time for the purpose of becoming better acquainted and discussing the legal as well as the economic conditions, as they concern the political and professional affairs of interest to all parties concerned. President McBeth assured the club that in the near future we would be honored with the presence of high powered luminaries to discuss matters of great importance. FRED MASON.

CALIFORNIA CITIES AND TOWNS --- Friday, March 9, 1928 CALIFORN Pasadena Notes BY: W. MATT SOLOMON A wonderful afternoon's service was held at the Friendship Baptist Church last Sunday when Rev E. E. Burkholter, formerly of Phoenix, Arizona and Moderator of the Arizona Convention, preached a wonderful sermon to a large congregation, from the subject: "Don't turn them Away" dealing with the feeding of the Five Thousand." The occasion was the regular First Sunday meeting of the Senior Mission Society of which Mrs. Eva Burton is the most efficient president. Since this society has been under the leadership of Mrs. Burton its progress has been most pronounced, with a greater increase in membership and a more progressive program actuated by the slogan she has adopted to give each member something to do. After the most spendid sermon, a beautiful solo was rendered by Mrs. Johnnie Taylor, the source of much inspiration. Miss Viola Jackson very greatly dignified the meeting in the role of Mistress of Ceremonies. A Musical Tea will be given next Sunday afternoon at the residence of Mrs. Bertha Turner, under the auspices of the N. A. A. C. P., sponsoring baby Master Matthews supported by Mesdames Reizes, Barrett, Winston and Fowler. The musical program which promises to be a very unique affair is being arranged by Jack Hoke and Buell Thomas. There seems to be much rivalry among the many contestants and as the result many activities or various sorts are pending. The Intercultural Council of which Mrs. O. E. Phelps is a conspicuous representative presented the Williams Jubilee Singers at the Pasadena High School, Thursday night to a large and appreciative audience. It was the avowed conclusion of all that they were better than ever. The Brotherhood of the Friendship Baptist Church met Tuesday night in preparation for the Annual Visitation Banquet to be held the 4th Tuesday night in March which is ordinarily a well attended affair. The meeting was held at the residence of J. L. Cunningham, 276 Pepper street. The Grant Brothers are smiling on all sides being appraised of the information that they have a large litter of pigs at their hog ranch situated just outside the city limits of Alhambra. These men have become well known among the Pasadenans as men of action more than words. One of the most inviting spots among the businesses of our group is the well kept and up-to-date barber shop owned and operated by Mr. Haynes on West Green St. Rev. Wm. Prince, pastor of the Bethel A. M. E. Church at Monrovia, is complaining of an affectionation of one of his eyes, which has in former years given him considerable trouble. So severe was his suffering Sunday he was unable to attend his services.

Prince bears the reputation of conducting an orderly dance. The Junior Church Choir of Friendship Church rendered a musical program at St. Paul Church, Monday evening. There was no admission charged but a silver offering at the door. The Girls Auxiliary of the First A. M. E. Church is making preparations for a plaque to be presented to the public at an early date. Melvin Robinson and Wm. Hicks remain quite ill at their respective homes. It seems that Judge Dunham is venting his spleen on those of our group who unfortunately have to come before him for any charge or pretended charge. Just the other day it was his happy privilege to soak one of our group JUST $25 for what would term "taking candy from a blind man," yet there is no redress as his office is an appointive one and the only warning we can give is to stay away from his court, for if you don't the Gobblins will surely get you. He has been in the capacity of Police Judge a long time and it seems the longer he stays the more hard boiled he gets. More than that the man in question proved beyond a doubt that he was innocent of the charge but it was just another of those sinister charges hurled by a white woman. He should have asked for a jury trial. This remark was heard just after the trial: "That was the rawest ideal I have ever seen," made by a white man. One can plainly see that the time was prompted by a corrupt motive. On the Third Sunday in March, Rev. F. Botts will be the speaker for the Junior Mission Society of Friendship Baptist Church. Mrs. V. Corry has charge of the program which promises to be out of the ordinary. There will be solos and other numbers to complete the afternoon's program. Quite a number of young people, workers in evangelistic service will be presented by the N. I. B. C. Club on the Third Sunday in the afternoon. This meeting will be held in place of the regular monthly Missionary sermon and the public is earnestly requested to attend. At the opening of the Mission study class of Friendship Baptist Church last Sunday under the leadership of Mrs. Maggie Reynolds, the most efficient Dean, Mrs. E. O. Solomon addressed the large class, in a review of the Mission Study Book, "Old Paths for New Purposes," dealing with the 4th Chapter only, "Christian Missions and America's Racial Attitude." This was the initiatory meeting with more than forty enrolled and the indications are for a capacity class. The best talent obtainable has been secured as instructors and a strenuous effort will be made to surpass all previous records. Rev. Chas.

Much comment is being made as to the way the young girls of the First A. M. E. and Friendship Churches conducted themselves as usherettes in the recent presentations of Dean Pickens by the N. A. A. C. P. Such a spirit of co-operation by the young folk is worthy of mention. The services-at Friendship were very interesting all day Sunday. In the morning the pastor preached a very inspiring sermon to a crowded house preceding which was an addition of five persons, one being a candidate for baptism. An appeal was made for pledges after the sermon amounting to more than $600. A mammoth program has been outlined by the pastor to cover a period of six weeks primarily to interest the entire membership and incidentally a get-together movement that a greater work may be accomplished. No stone is left unturned to make this affair an outstanding event in the history of the church. All the members are urged to get busy and do their part toward making these series of meetings a success. Rev. J. M. Brown of the A. M. E. Church has become quite a notable character among Pasadena folk of the other group with the many addresses he has delivered to the civic and religious organizations or the city. The address he made to the United Brotherhood has been put in pamphlet form by one of the auxiliaries of the church and has found a ready sale.

Monrovia News Visions of business establishments seem to have taken on new life in Monrovia judging from the number of new enterprises that have come to life in the past few weeks. We refer to the new cafe recently opened by F. Mays at 1117 S. Shamrock, where the best of foods are dispensed by an experienced cook whose pastry is as good as any you have ever tasted. Mr. Mays is one of the old timers around Monrovia being well known having been in business formerly on Huntington Drive near Shamrock. He also has a full line of soft drinks and cigars and in fact anything you would need to satisfy a craving appetite. In the adjoining room a barber shop is in operation for the convenience of those seeking tonsoral attention. The location of this business is easy of access directly on the road to towns on the Valley boulevard and is designated by a sign. "You Last Chance," which informs the traveler that there is a long time between drinks after they leave his place. Every effort is being put forth by Mays to make this one of the most inviting places on the boulevard and incidentally it will be a rendezvous for the young folk during the warm summer evenings who are seeking something to cool their scorching tongues.

Stores are not alone for the merchants who own them nor are they only for the people who trade with them. Without the other the merchant cannot sell and the customer cannot buy. And reasoning in the negative, if the merchant does not satisfy the customer the customer will trade elsewhere, and if the customer trades elsewhere the merchant is deprived of the opportunity of striving to satisfy the customer. By trading at home with the home town merchants the people of Los Angeles become the architects of their own business places. They create the demand and the home town merchant, assured of the demand, does not fail in meeting it. It is always more convenient to trade at home, and assured of your trade the home town merchants will find it quite convenient to meet every merchandise wish. Every citizen of Los Angeles is interested in the growth and improvement of the community, but many of those who trade out-of-town do not realize that community improvements begin with the improvement of its business. The business of a town or city is its life-blood. Knowing this no citizen will stunt the natural and deserving expansion of his home town while fostering that of another community and its business. If it must be done in a spirit of selfishness, don't buy at home to help the merchant, but to help the home community and yourself. Thrust your business upon the local merchants and force them to prosper, that they, prospering, will make the community prosper and bring more prospering merchants and buyers into town to increase competition and through competition reduce prices, and increase quality and stocks to choose from.

There is no reason why an cy from the bank when a chec action; neither is there any e money undertaking to be his o One of the subjects most prolific in the way of texts for comment is that of the safety provided by banks to persons to engage in financial transactions of any kind. Many more persons should adopt the plan of making payments of all kinds by checks instead of currency. Every few days the newspapers publish accounts of thefts which have been committed in cases of persons who withdraw sums of money from the banks, or use money they have kept in their homes for payments on property or other transactions. A bank check eliminates all possibility of loss of money in making payment on checks, and the writer of the check can representing checks for payment are entitled to the money, and even if a check is stolen it is highly improbable that it can be negotiated by the thief. Banks require identification before making payment on checks, an dthe writer of the check can immediately stop payment on it if it is stolen. Persons who keep money in considerable amounts in the home do so at their own risk. Would-be thieves have means of securing information which may not be suspected by the person who keeps money in his home, or they may even take a chance of finding currency hidden about the house. The resulting loss is the same. There is no reason why any individual should draw currency from the bank when a check will complete a financial transaction; neither is there any excuse for a person who receives money undertaking to be his own banker.

People who save their dolb buy an automobile find that tha they have neither the time no place their motor maps and im obvious truth that if every aut call of the open road as often tion's business and production In a multitude of ways man has found the automobile to be a Good Samaritan. In fact, it is generally conceded now that the automobile is indispensable to civilized man. Among the good things the automobile is credited with doing for humanity are: It provides him with a valuable transportation auxiliary; it places within his reach a constant source of much pleasure and recreation; it enables him to see more of the country and people beyond the horizon of the community in which he lives; it takes the city man to the country and the rural resident to the city. Then there are the economic benefits of the automobile, such as the giving of employment to millions of workmen. Reversing an ancient adage, it is a good wind that blows no ill. The good that the automobile does is great but, like all things, it has its disadvantages. People who save their dollars for a year and even longer to buy an automobile find that the car is bought and paid for that they have neither the time nor the money to motor to every place their motor maps and imaginations beckon them. It is an obvious truth that if every automobile owner responded to the call of the open road as often as he hears it calling him the nation's business and production woud suffer a serious slump. UNSHAKLE THE COUNCIL We are much of the opinion by Councilman Snapper Ingram pointed city officials is one who the successful prosecution of侵ment. The very fact the city co of all city appointees and msible with the mayor for their give the council the right to are found lacking in the per movement is a good one and sbya big majority of the elect We are much of the opinion that the suggested movement by Councilman Snapper Ingram, giving power of removing appointed city officials is one which would be of great benefit to the successful prosecution of the affairs of our city government. The very fact the city charter calls for the confirmation of all city appointees and making that body equally responsible with the mayor for their conduct, is sufficient indeed to give the council the right to pass upon their removal if they are found lacking in the performance of their duties. This movement is a good one and should deceive the hearty support bya big majority of the electors, and we second the move to amend the city charter to this effect. At present price, the advice of an apple a day was not a windfall. If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLÉ—You May Never Know It Happened When the train is coming, the driver who tries to beat it over the crossing is going. A writer says that $800 a year is enough for a family of three to live on. This is too much! Many a man thinks he has an inspiration to work, as long as it is not the kind that produces perspiration. There is no sign that anyone is ever going to be able to invent a tire patch that will keep air in over-inflation. COMMENT BY: W. J. WHEATON "PRIZE FIGHTING must go!" It appears as if the contest between a black man and a white man in Los Angeles, Cal., has aroused the cultural fire of the citizens and they are up in arms against commercialized boxing. If the abolition of the "sport" because of brutality was the sole object it might find immediate favor. But the honesty of the propaganda is doubtful. The writer would not cross the road to see any professional boxing match, no matter who the contestants might be. After reading all of the comments concerning "California's disgrace," the crux of the whole matter is summed up in this paragraph, taken from the editorial of a daily paper: "A fine thing, was it not, for every newspaper in the United States to broadcast the fact that California culture permits and encourages that truly obscene thing the "mixed match" between colored pugilist and white?" There is the crux of the agitation, "mixed match." As if the color of either participant added to or detracted from the brutality. There was a disparity in the size, which was no discouragement to Mr. Uzcudun. We were but recently informed by press and radio that he had battered into submission one Harry Wilks, a Negro, weighing forty pounds, more than he. Two million odd "mitt artists" crowded one of America's biggest stadiums. They and the promoters relieved the public of a few million dollars. The entire United States was hooked up by radio, and the whirring presses were stilled, awaiting the final. When one of the participants—though defeated—returned to his beloved home in California, instead of an escort of four or five policemen it took fifty to keep the thousands, who gathered at the R. R. station to greet him, in order, and no visiting President of those United States ever received a greater evasion than he. As we said before, "If this were honest propaganda we would enter with zest into the fight for clean sport, but we cannot bring ourselves to believe that 'color makes the brute.' Men who finance these fights have a few million dollar prospects in the offing. They are holding elimination contests to see who shall fight the champion of the world. The Negro, Godfrey, has been winning against all comers. The "fight public" care nothing about color, they might insist that the world champion meet him. That might hurt the gate' receipts. So they seek to eliminate him through Mr. Uczudun. Falling in that they get the easiest thing—the ear of the Reformer, who is always ready for the "uplift." That and raising the question of color, costs so little in advertising that it can be played up to the national tune of a constitutional amendment. For years we have pleaded and importured the clergy, press, civic bodies and other institutions for some honest to goodness, outright, condemnatory language against the brutal crime of LYNCHFNGS. Where the "matches are mixed" with kerosene or gasoline to ignite the writhing body of some unfortunate black man or woman. There is no referee to call a foul. More than likely he is with the crowd. It is a foul blot on the ed by the clergy, press, civic bodies on the escutcheon of its civilization. Is lynching a cultural sport? Judge from the apathy, heretofore, exhibited by the clergy, press, civic bodies and Uplifters in general, we deem it so. Had the same comments and editorial that was given the prize fight in Los Angeles been directed against the prize fight in los Angeles been directed against the friends who so "ogensely" atrociously mutilated, murdered, burned a black man on the borders of Kentucky and Virginia, the entire nation would have been aroused to a sense of its duty. The cultured element must stop the degrading spectacles that besmirch our civilization. It will have to be done through the clergy, press and civic bodies, because all of the Barbarians don't attend prize fights. Mrs. Gifford Pinchot has announced that she is a candidate for the Republican nomination for Congress, Fifteenth Pennsylvania District. The District has been represented for seven terms by Louis McFadden. Dry? Yes! Bond Dry! So dry she won't wet her hair. Senator Reed, Missouri, Dem., is making a whirlwind tour through the Southwest and Pacific Coast. He has entered the lists and will contest for California's delegation to the convention at Houston, Tex. His bid for California rather complicates matters. Gov. Al. Smith has a loyal following and the McAdoo faction cannot see any candidate who is the least bit moist, and Reed has dewey leanings. His plea, for a United Democracy seems to be bearing fruit. He pleads religious and all others. That plea is making for him and all others. That plea is making for him a number of friends. The McAdoos have named Sen. Walsh. Mont. Senator Hiram Johnson is still making headway toward a successful passage of the Boulder Dam bill. In committee he succeeded in having his bill bill put through the Committee as drafted; leaving it to the discretion of the Interior Secretary whether private interests, states or cities or the Federal Government should construct the plant. After calling in Dr. Amila Muhl psychiatrist to rthe State Board of Education, to examine Genevieve Watters, 9 years, upon whose testimony George Watters was convinced and sentenced to hang. Gov. Young commuted the sentence to life imprisonment. No chance for pardon or parole. If Watters did commit the crime as charged, it was the "perfect" one; not one trace has ever been found of the alleged victim. Aside him Loeb and Hickman were bungaling mover. An Italian acquaintance remarked, "Say! We have everything to be thankful for. The highest churchman in the world to pray for us; Mussolini to light for us and Giannini to make money for us." What ever the two first named may accomplish were know for a fact that A. P. Giannini is closing the Italian to be numbered among the respected of the races in the United States. His financial genius caused an entire turning about of the public attitude. Any number of San Franciscans know the great financier—When. He constantly preached the gospel of thrift. He did not encourage his compatriots to go into ventures, aping those who had acquired, but he guided and directed them to solid investments and as producers. This is not written in a pessimistic mood. I believe in my people. I believe in their possibilities, I have faith in their awakening to a pride in themselves, I have the utmost trust in their loyalty, integrity and spiritual faith. It is on these things that they will be able to build solidly their artistic and cultural structure. Our leaders have gone on the wrong trend. This is a material age and all accomplishments are based on the dollar. It is the financial worth of the race that will lower every barrier, and make of the word Negro a word to be respected. It is the amassing of wealth that will make the Race an indispensable unit in the civilizing process of America. Are the men and women who are "Making believe" putting the right example before our young men and women, on whom the future success of the Race depends, by false pretence of influence in social activities? Think well. Perhaps we can develop a Giannini. The Brotherhood of the Races The Brotherhood of the Races Everyone is especially invited and urged to attend the Brotherhood of Races meeting in the University Y. W. C. A. Cottage, Telegraph Avenue and Allston Way, Berkeley, on Friday evening, March 9th, at 8:00 P. M. The Brotherhood of Races is a non-sectarian group of liberals, all students, academic and non-academic, of international and racial issues. Two years ago Mr. Leland Hawkins, San Francisco attorney, addressed them on the subject, "The Negro in History." A year ago, Mr. E. B. Gray, Oakland realtor and financier, addressed them on the subject, "The Negro in Business. Five months ago, Mr. Lanier, Florida educator, now a Stanford University, addressed them on the subject, "Negro Education in the Southern States." The principal speaker for the coming meeting will be Mr. W. C. Matthews, Assistant Attorney-General of the United States. His address will be "The Negro in American Political Life." Mrs. Esther Jones Lee, President or the California Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, will speak on "Organization Activities Among Colored Women." Mr. Marcus Hall will render a vocal solo. Miss Angelesta Wren will render a piano solo. Forty minutes will be allotted to an open floor, during which period the addresses will be discussed by the audience. It is possible that Mr. Matthews' official duties will necessitate his departure for Washington, D. C., before Friday evening. In that event, his address will be read—and discussed. Don't forget.

All hands at Newton Street say that in so far as the maintenance of a high rate of efficiency is concerned that all they ask is for a fair break and they will take care of the rest. In this situation they also say there are two sides to all cases and it is but fair to hear all sides before making up an opinion about either.

Central Ave. and 43rd St. ly to him, because hg himself has been subject to like conditions. Mr. Hoover is of Quaker stock and traditions. Both himself and wife belong to the Quaker household of faith. If religious belief and persuasion any longer influence the attitude of public men towards the practical issues of life we can most assuredly look to Mr. Hoover for the fullest sympathy and support of the cause of the common people against arrogance and power. The Negro most especially may expect a most generous attitude towards right and justice in the administration of public affairs. It is well known to students of history that the Quakers throughout our history have taken the leading role in the emancipation of the Negro and in upholding his guaranteed rights. The dominant motto of the Quaker is, "Let your conscience be your guide." The Negro has suffered by reason of the fact that recent statesmanship seems disposed to follow the haze of expediency rather than the light of conscience. We at least, at the present stage, have the right to hope that secretary Hoover, if chosen president, will prove true to the tradition of the faith which he espouses. But here again, experience compels a word of caution. All that can now be said about the origin, traditions and spiritual inheritance of Mr. Hoover, could have been said about Calvin Coolidge four years ago. We were Friday, March 9, 1928 then jubilantly exulting in his New England conscience and philanthropic background. Great things were predicted for the Negro by reason of such background and reinforcement. But candor compels us to say after five years occupancy in the White House at our early hopes have not been altogether fulfilled. The spirit and purpose are undoubtedly there. Mr. Coolidge's attitude on the rights and privileges of the race is unmistakenly sound. But this attitude for the most part remains personal and passive. It is not translated into practical action, Calvin Coolidge seems to possess one disposition towards the Negro, and President Coolidge another. How far any president can or will identify his private and his political personality, in face of an unfriendly public sentiment remains to be seen. In the meantime we may fall back upon the never falling assurance of hope. Our Negro statesmen have already picked Mr. Hoover as the winner. At this stage of the game the Northern Negro does not function. He can only stand aloof and wait until the master voice has been uttered. But the Southern leader, with the almost uninterrupted African instinct, can see in advance and seize the advantage of the keen foresight. Perry Howard of Mississippi, Ben Davis of Georgia, Walter Cohen of Louisiana have already sought reservations on the Hoover band wagon. When we stop for a moment to consider that these are the only Negroes who function in primary politics, we may say that the Secretary of Commerce has already secured one hundred per cent support of the Negro race.

THERE were men planted by the "long hairs" and the political aspirant gentry to pick flaws in the big event, but not one squabble over seating; not one money-back grumble; not one case of friction between black and white occurred. Failing to find any fault in the organization, the only thing that could be dragged in was the old empty, unfounded, useless argument a black man fighting a white one. I TOLD you so! is what they would loved to have sung in a ghouli ich shrons next day, but Mr. Masters and his able staff were on the job and everybody was pleased—So much for that. Jimmie Smith, my very worthy predecessor, writes me from London. Sends a lot of good messages to all his friends which I will deliver next issue. Jimmie is a great fellow, an asset to any paper or any business. And the runners plod on! And again the Eagle pats itself on the back for getting Ed. Gardner backed to win. ALONG FISTICUEES BOW MIKE GREALIS has opened a new gymnasium on N. Main. A big banquet to city officials, celebrities, newspaper men and fight managers started it off.

(Shiek) Gardner that a Soaring Eaglet spied him while looking with Watson Burns for a boy to carry the flag of Ethiopia and Los Angeles among the 25 other flags of all nations into New York For even if he never makes it to New York if he puts up the kind of battle he has started in to do the number of prizes offered by leading business men —black and white—will recompense him precisely for his efforts. For although most of them are offered with the stipulation that he wins, practically all of them have stated that they will donate at least a lesser one if he make a good race. Tooping the list, the California Eagle in addition to using its connections and influence in his behalf will give him a large cash prize, and a trip here with entertainment for his wife and two babies, awaiting him in Seattle. Otis and Fitzhugh Banks of the Eastside Realty Co. will give him any choice let him he selects in Central Avenue Garden, their successful subdivision. The Proprietor of the Main St. Jewelry and Loan Co. has placed on exhibition a $1,000 diamond ring to be presented him on his victorious return. He also agreed to supply him with anything he may need by way of equipment on receipt of a wire. Mr. Adams, rising young manufacturer of "Adams Bandits," the better physique gave Gardner a full supply of his excellent medicine to last the whole grip. He offers him a managerial position in his factory which he contemplates setting up at an early date. Dr. J. C. Guidero, optometrist at 7th and Central looked after Gardner's eyes diring his 30 days training here keeping them in perfect shape and supplied him with a pair of fine goggles to wear while running. There will be of especial use in the glare of the desert sands. Dr. Hugh Bell, leading and enterprising young dentist, will perform $200 worth of dental work on Gardner or his family at his well equipped offices. In addition he will keep his teeth in condition for a year following the termination of the race. Mr. James Akers, who with his partner, Wetson Burns, is backing the determined little runner financially is accompanying him all the way over in a car arrying clothing, equipment, supplies, etc. Ernest Bendy Knocked Out Buck Jones at San Diego Buck Jones, the heavyweight prize fighter had a harder time in the Coliseum ring at San Diego last Friday than Buck Jones the cowboy actor ever had with a bucking broncho on a rocky cactus covered hill-side. Jones is a big well experienced, hard-hitter, whose opponent failed to appear. On short notice Pop Hubely's 17-year old prospect Ernest Bendy, was thrown in the gap and contrary to the custom of substitutes turned loose some of the heaviest and rapiest firing guns Buck had ever met. Four rounds of the 8-round bout were all that was necessary to stretch Buck out on the canvas for the evening. POOR (COLOR LINE) TUN NEY ONLY GETS ONE FIGHT THIS YEAR New York—Although Gene, Tunner wants to defend his heavy weight in June and again in Promoter Tex Rickard professed to be convinced that only one title bout can be held this year. Men Mateo Magdaleno on al Main St. A.C. Saturday Night Bill Main St. A. C., the "fight or get out" emptium, has seen Mateo Magdalena in action a number of times but never against as dangerous an opponent as Carlo Curtis the kid promoter has picked for him this bath day. Mateo as usual is topping the card with a good supporting card of knock-out artists leading up to it. LAMAR KNOCKED OUT PITCH-ERLL LAST SAT. Johnny Lamar knocked out Frankie, Pitcherell in the 4th round last Saturday night. Rikke Aguayo took the semi-windup easily from Johnny Ward, who substituted for Paul Armado, and Mickey Farr socked his way to a four-round win over regina Palnam in the special. Charlie Parks' seconds threw in the towel in his bout against Herb-Green. He was not stopped nor badly punished but considerable clinching and Parks' three pounds lighter slightly loser made the bout look bad to the referee. Just when he was about to stop it disqualifying both the day was saved by the towel. Joe Pirrone and All-Stars to Work Two Months in Picture Joe Pirrone, famous father of Winter League baseball and manager of Pirrone's Major and Minor League All-Stars will do some hero stuff with pinch hits, home runs, etc., save weep- Winnery ing maidens in distress and play hard for the love and hands of other fair maidens for the new two months. At a nice figure Joe has signed a contract for his team and himself to make a big feature picture at Lasky Studios. Richard Dix is the star and the play is a baseball story replete with thrills, action and romance of the diamond. Pedro Amador Fights Offerman in Stock- ton, March 22 ZORILLA GETS BUD TAYLOR Wirt Ross's brown demons' are to be very busy this season with all three of his boys, Zorilla, Ramos and Amador doing their staff. Promoter Charles "Ropes" Heine- man of Stockton announced this that he had signed Pedro Amador, rising young Panamanian lightweight, and Sammy Offerman, the San Francisco Jewish buttler, for his ten-round feature there on March 22 ALL STILL IN AND GOING STRONG When Red Grange touched off the bigerial bomb at Ascot Speedway and 249 runners put it in high, five of them were members of the ancient Ethiopian race and quite proudly did they step it. In the front rank which was number 1 to 20 was Sammy Robinson, No. 19, on through the young army was Granville, the West Indian Canadian, Toby Lewis, of McKinley School, Harry Johnson, and our own Ed. Gardner. To date they are going good, Gardner having run 2nd and 4th to all the control points. His time to Victorville from Los Angeles was 14 hours, 2 minutes and 26 seconds. Experts say Ed. is sure to win. Roleaux Saguero To Fight at Culver City CHAMPION NEGRO NIGHT- HEAVY OR CUBA TO BE SEEN IN ACTION HERE With an open defi flung at Mickey Walker by his manager, Duke Barry, a tall, straight, perfectly built dark boy makes his entrance with a bang into the local fistic limelight with a J BATTLE TO BE STAGED AT OLYMPIC TUESDAY 13TH MEANS GOOD LUCK SAYS "YOUNG MASTER" Without letting up a day of training stunce, "Dr.". (?) Steve Nyland told Dr. Hull at Culver City that Gans had fouled Johnny Lamar, the Young Master is primed fine as a hair-trigger for his match with Hilario Martinez next J FEDERAL BOXING CLUB Will open a Spanish class to teach one pupil, Hilario Martinez, from the Basque country in Spain. Gans says he can beat the little wood-hopper chopping. The session will be held at the Olympic, Tuesday. Tuesday, March 13th at the Olympic and if all its reports are true it will be a quarrel worth doing a Pyle Pedalogue many miles to see. Martinez is a Spaniard, a stablemate of Paulino Ucundan and a Basque wood-hopper just like his big partner. He makes the chips fly faster though as he is very speedy and clever as well as a hard bitter. Due to this Martinez has won all his starts in this country beating some of the best boys around New York. He is very aggressive and that is just what will make it a whale of a scram. Gans is a boxer of the Jack Johnson order with a dazzling, clever defenses, as a counter punch. Start, a punch to Gans' head and you run into a dock of lightning left jabs and right crosses. He can always beat a fighter who leads but force of habit and training causes him to wait for the other guy to get fresh. Gans is determined to win Tuesday as it means his complete reinstatement in the good will of the fans, and an early trip to Chicago and New York. On the other hand Martinez has all to gain and hopes to play leap-frog over Gans to land on the top of the heap in the United States. Matchmaker Hayden Wadhams as usual is not taking any chances but has a sup porting card lined up that will furnish a big evening's entertainment even if the main only lasts half a round as Gans predicts. POCKET BILLIARD CHAMPS CROSS CUES IN CHI Pool kings from all over are engaged in a national championship tourney in Chicago. Frank Taberski of Schenectady, present champion, was among the early arrivals. Other plays here included: Harry Wood, northwest champion, Duluth; Ralph Greenleaf, New York, former national champion; Pasquale Natalie, Baltimore; Erwin Rudolph, former national champion, Chicago. Rosy Rosales, Mexican heavyweight who made a hit with Culver City boxing fans two weeks ago, will meet Sanguero, hard-hitting Cuban, in the main event at the Culver arena Thursday night. Rosales punched Leo Dieble, one of Pasolino Uscudan's training partners around the Culver ring in his first start on the Coast. Bangueau claims the light-heavy and heavyweight championship of Cuba and has an impressive knockout record. He came to Los Angeles the weeks ago with Manager Duke Barry. A string of other good bouts have been on tab waiting the outcome of this one. LINCOLN THEATRE CENTRAL AVE.

Girls are more athletic since short skirts are no longer viewed with Puritanic horror. Long, swinging strides, erect posture, absence of lung and heart compressing corsets, as well as safe distances from the germs and dirt of the sidewalks all have come with the new skirts. Yet the fact that there are still people, classes and creeds so narrow as to see evil in this neat, jaunty, healthful style of apparel is proven by the article below, clipped from an Atlantic city paper: Ban Short Skirts For Salvation Girls Atlantic City, March 5.—Bridge, dancing, the wearing of "step-ins", cosmetics, short skirts, cigarettes, and also attendance of theaters and motion pictures, were barred for the 18 young Salvation Army women conducting a revival here, according to their chief, Capt. Mina Russell, 24-year-old Salvation Army officer. But al that even the "Hallelujah" girl will be wearing sensible apparel some day as they march on their gospel missions through the streets.

MACK HOUSE FILLING DATE WITH HARD OPPONENT A ledding daily some months ago accused Mack House, the California Bear, of having the big head. Whether he had it then or not he hasn't got it no but still has the confidence it takes to make a fighter. And he usually steps out and knocks them over so he can go to the Thursday night dances he loves so well. This publication predicted Mack to climb to the tip-top in a year, at a time when no one else believed it. It seems he is going to make that true. Before these sheets dry good Mack will be having a conference with his hardest customer, so far who is big, tall, rangy, hard-socking Benny Hill. The card follows: Mack House vs. Benny Hill, main event, ten rounds. Johnny Williams vs. Frankie Arregon, semi-windup, six rounds. Stanley Baldwin vs. Jack Haywood, six rounds. Ray Vance vs. Bud Anderson, four rounds. Leonard Allen vs. Elwood Welch, four rounds. BOYS TAUGHT TO SWIM AT SEVEN New York, March 3.—Each boy who joins the East Side Club at the age of 7 years is immediately taught to swim, either at the Tompkins Square Building, under Coach Harold Florence, or at the new Jefferson Park Building, under Coach "Barney" Zucker. THESE BOYS DID SOME SKATING Three youths, James Jurenak, Stanley Leonard and Collins Satley, roller skated for 27 hours and 25 minutes without stopping at La Porte, Ind. THE BLACK SPORT WORLD THROUGH THE EYES OF HAMILTON ART We now understand why Johnny McCoy is considered king pin among the flyweights in the State of California. McCoy, best Checkle Herman, game little Mexican of San Bernardino last Thursda ynight in 10 torrific rounds. The cagy little man was far too clever for Herman. McCoy worked a highly effective left over time and he had Checkle bleeding as early as the second. Working in close Johnny would go into a clinch, work his left loose and bam! bam! bam!—three times against the Mexican's face before he knew what it was all about. At times it seemed as if game, little Herman would go down when McCoy connected with his right, but Checkle always came back for more. Just a case of too much class on Johnny McCoy's part. Babe Jackson, slugging middle-weight of Redlands was to fight the semi-windup against Jack Grinde, but Grinde took one look at Babe and beat it. At press time Jackson and Jack Lamson crawl through the ropes in 'Berdo to fight the top spot. This is a re-match resulting from a bang-up draw, fought several weeks ago. In their former meeting it was nip and tuck all the way. Lamson had the 'Redlands kid out on his fight in the 6th-round, but Babe came back in the final two cantos to all but hang the K. O. sign on Lamson. We see by Fay in the Chicago Defender that Niel Clibsy, coast, heavy-weight, is having as hard a time in Chicago, to get fights as he had out here. When Clibsy was on the Coast all the boys gave him the run around, now in the East, Niel is confronted with the same problem getting matches. It was the pleasure of the writer to interview one of the leaders in C. C. Pyle's cross country race Tuesday night in Victoryville. The man interviewed was Gardner, the Negro that is setting such a fast pace in the bunion derby. "Shlek," as he is known to his fellow runners, gives us the following info, about his tedious trip, including the stop at Victoryville: "We ran from Los Angeles to Puente, the first day out, and I placed 12th." says Gardner. "The second day, running from Puente to Bloomington, we ran in a driving rain for 38 miles." "Shiek" placed second at Bloomington. The marathon got under way from Bloomington at 8 o'clock Tuesday morning for the hard grind up Cajon Pass. "After setting the pace for three-fourths of the way," continued Gardner. "I dropped back and crossed the line in Victorville fifth, at 2:45 P.M. The dark-skinned marathon runner showed few signs of distress. Burns and Akers are backing Gardner and believe their man will finish close to the Top. Geo. Curtis of Seattle is his trainer. Harry Johnson, also colored, was hit by a speeding car and was forced to withdraw. Sammy Robison pulled in about 8:10 Tuesday night. WELCOME HOME ACE HUDKINS! Back from a second sensational victory over Baker and a win over Mello a very important citizen arrives full of smiles. The Nebraska Wildcat will rest two weeks to give his hands a chance to heal, and will then return to New York to remain until after his wetterweight champion fight with Joe Dundee, tentatively scheduled for April 30. On this last trip east, Hudkins defeated Lew Tendler and Sergeant Sammy Baker and won from Al Mello on a foul. He brings Tony Mandell, a featherweight and an amateur. Light-heavyweight of Boston to the coast with him. When just a small boy in Kansas City, Mo, Santa Claus brought Curtis Mosby a little crum for Xmas. From then on he paraded from room to room making the most ungodly noises, until his mother's patience were worn to a frazzle. "Get out of here with that noise, boy!" she cried—and Curtis went. He was glad of the chance as she had kept him in from the bigger boys of the neighborhood. But with born leadership, little bare-footed embryo artist, fitted out a dozen boys with tins pan, mouth organs, rubber band fiddles, tin flutus and what-nots and marched them around the streets and vacant lots until the whole neighborhood near his home had gone nearly distracted with the noise. But that was Curtis's first band. While still little more than a boy he proudly received his first appointment to a regular audience as people had begun to notice his musical ability. This was at Billy King's Theatre on 18th St., then Kansas City's largest colored house. From Billy King's to Chicago, back to Kansas City to open the Green Mill then on the Orpheum Circuit with Florence Mills and the Tennessee, Tenn., thence to Oakland and finally to Los Angeles as a gift to the world of Jazz. Mr. Mosby is adding another member to his great orchestra of ten with which he opened the new Lincoln Theatre, the new member being one of the country's foremost jazz artists. His present personnel is: Robt. Garner, Saxophone, Clarinet; Leslie Hite, Saxophone, Clarinet; Wm. France, Saxophone, clarinet; Jas. Porter, Cornet; Robert Meyers, Cornet; Ase Hardy, Trombone; Atwell Rose, Violin, Bario; Wm. Perkins, Tuba; Walter Johnson, Pianist; Curtis Mosby, Drummi. TENNIS CHATTER TENNIS CHATTER BY: JAMES S. HARRIS, JR. LOW DOWN ON TENNIS FANS Mr. George Jones, a recent arrival from the East, put in an appearance, one day last week at the tennis courts of Ross Spyder's Playground. The way he defended some of the would-be champs over there was something appalling. Mr. Jones was the ambitious youth who put Harvey Snodgrass, one of our L. A. Tennis Club aces, to his trumps last year in a local tournament in Brooklyn, New York. Mr. Jones is looking for some keen competition, so some of our powerful and able champs can now demonstrate their no mean abilities. A happy and agile group of our fans made a trip to Big Pines last Saturday. An enjoyable time was bad by all. The writer and Miss Helen Hamilton of Pasadena, a promising young player, migrated to the Midwick Country Club in Alhambra one afternoon this week and there in the dusk of the evening had a delightful game of tennis. Miss Geneva Stocks, the perfectly adorable sister of King James Stocks or Pasadena is practicing very diligently now days. She is anticipating a great season this year. The time won't be long now. Geneva. If a casual say nothing of a careful survey were to be made of the Tennis Courts at 38th and Ascot some Sunday, boys, a petite, charming, adorable, heart-rending, beautiful, fair damself would be perceived tripping here and there with a graceful stride participating in a game of tennis. This fair one can be none other than Miss Gladys Johnson, recently of Chicago. Miss Johnson is quite a promising aspirant of the game and has a bright future. it is said boys, that she is so bewitching that a number of her opponents when playing with her I have faded away from her like the moon before day, for she possesses such beautiful, raven tresses and such exquisite and adorable eyes. The writer is very, very well acquainted with the young man who is her chief admirer. QUESTIONAIRE M.

The show was immense, a sure sign that they intend to leave on the minds of the fans a healthy impression of their ability as entertainers of the first water. The featured part of the bill, stirring Bilo in "The Mayor" went over like a house a fire. Bilo had the lead and ample space whereh to strut his stuff. Now you ask me, "Did he strut his stuff?" My, I'll say he did. From the moment he bought the lie-detecting bell until the climax when, making his nominating speech for mayor, he had 'em in hysteries. Also, as was expected, the cast supported him admirably. Sarah Martin was really right this week. She sang her blues numbers truly "a la Sarah Martin" and topped it off with a little wiggle a la Dorothy Walton, echoes of the Follies, that called for encore after encore. Can't fail to mention, however. Baby Mack. Baby Lee, Albertine Pickens and Helene Stokes, Johnny Lee, Claud Collins and Doc himself of the cast. And, it would be a shame to go away and not say something of that magetic chorus. These girls will get it when there isn't any coffee in the house. The last week, Doc Straine promises one of those "Sheffieldian" plays—"Every Tub." Mosby's Orchestra means to be there too.

BUREAU OF POWER AND LIGHT CITY OF LOS ANGELES INSURANCE The protecting arm of the mighty giant of Insurance as exemplified by the twenty-eight companies comprising the National Negro Insurance Association is thrown around thousands of Negro homes, scattered throughout America. In their health program their lessons of thrift, their assurance of safety and provision for loved ones, these allied companies are performing a great service to the race. The twenty-eight Insurance Companies comprising the National Negro Insurance Association are launching a campaign of education during the week of March 4 to 11 inclusive when the 9,000 employees of these Companies will reach a large proportion of the colored population of the United States to tell them of the economic advantage of carrying insurance especially in Companies owned and operated by and for their own Race Group. Information obtain by Mr. C. M. Hayes, Statistician of the Association, has revealed startling facts as to the magnitude of the Insurance business. From a small beginning more than twenty years ago, when the then existing Companies operated as assessment or mutual industrial corporations with no capital, but with strong, honest and far-sighted men directing their destiny, the business has grown to twenty-eight companies whose combined assets are more than twelve million dollars, with paid-in Capital Stock of more than two million dollars and business in force near three hundred million dollars. These figures place the insurance business easily in front rank as the first business in scope and power and cause thoughtful men to ponder on the benefits which are being derived therefrom. As stupendous as the figures seem, an analysis of the business of the Race that is being carried in white companies, makes it plain that the large amount of business already done by these Companies is but a drop in the bucket to the amount of insurance which they ought to have on their books. The estimated business in force on colored lives in the United States is more than two billion dollars, the annual premium income on which is around thirty-five million dollars. If the insurance business now conducted less than twenty per cent in colored companies was carried ninety per cent instead, more than 30,000 would be employed; the assets of these companies would increase more than ten million dollars a year and within a few years, the Negro would become an economic power in the United States. The many business success in the country point out that big wealth comes from the wide marketing of an article of universal appeal. Every person needs insurance, and the few pennies that come each week from the ten million Negroes make up the millions of dollars of income of the financial giants of the Insurance World. To bring home to the Negro the power of this money when properly harnessed under his own control will be the aim of the Officers and Agents of the Companies of the National Negro Insurance Association in their campaign during the coming week.

Boy Scouts For the first time in the history of the Boy Scouts of America an annual meeting of the National Council of the organization will meet in the West, when the officers, including President Walter W. Head and Vice-President Mortimer L. Schiff, open a three-day convention in San Francisco on April 9. Also, for the first time, the national conference meetings will be open to attendance by Scout Executives and Lay Leaders, thousands of whom have already made reservations and many of whom will go to San Francisco on special trains. The remarkable showing of Region Twelve, which includes the States of California, Nevada, Utah and Arizona, is said to have induced the national officers to depart from their usual custom or holding their annual meetings at the New York Headquarters. San Francisco, under direction of a FAMOUS HERB REMI No matter suffer, men or using Chinese ness here in L have made me very efficacious committee headed by Mayor Rulph and President C. C. Moore of the San Francisco Scout Council, has arranged a large program for the reception of the Scout Leaders. A pageant-marade on April 9 will conduct the delegates through the city to a reception at the mayor's office, and this will be followed by a civic demonstration in the plaza. The end of the convention will be marked by a public banquet to the Scout officials. Many important matters, vital not only to the national organization, but to the progress of Scouting in the West, will be taken up by the conference. After the meeting hundreds of the eastern leaders are to come to Los Angeles for a stay of several days. President Stewart W. French of Pasadena, who hears the Twelfth Region, Regional Scout Executive C. J. Carlson, President Malcolm McNaghten and Scout Executive E. B. DeGroot or Los Angeles District Council, and other local leaders, are enrolling large delegations for the convention. BY: ELINOR WASHINGTON Church dinners and club activities are all the rage.

LAMAR HELERIC GROUPS PITCH WAR CAMPS There is much agitation of a sore spot among undergraduates of the various campuses. Their sore spot was caused, we learn, by a few fellow attendees College hoping to gain some credit for unique college spirit; making other College men who did not care for, or appreciate the unsavory notoriety nevertheless, co-recipients of such. The same notoriety being the result of a party advertised, "College Men Entertain Waitresses." We are also given to understand by both reputable College Men and some clean-minded ladies, who earn their living as waitresses, that the party was far from upfitting; that the college men as a group, did not earn any additional respect as the result of such party; but, to the contrary, people have developed a feeling of contempt for them. Under these circumstances, they or anyone else couldn't help feeling so. It is a far cry from the ordinarily accepted opinion, when a College student who is expected to eventually take his place among the leaden of men, and as a bulwark to polite society, allows himself, by unseemingly conduct to be looked down upon, as a dispeller or enemy of the society, he is deemed to protect. There have been insinuations and hints galore as to who was responsible for this affair. Where an insinuation was made and to whom it hit was immediately of deep concern. The fraternities were drained in their efforts to protect their members. We hope there will be no recurring events. Be men, be College Men, but above all be Gentle-Men. The flower scheme and color hue was carried out with red and white sweet peas and ribbons, which gracefully hung from the chandeliers to dainty baskets which adorned the table. The children enjoyed themselves with many games, and delicous refreshments.
